Just wanted to share that our Guardian Alarm system install team Michael, TJ and Cameron were all outstanding. The crew had to come out twice because the extremely cold weather initially posed a problem. Michael was so thorough with all the details of our installation and made sure our questions were answered. TJ and Michael also made sure that we were okay with camera positions and alarm device placement before they permanently installed them. They truly worked with us every step of the way and provided great customer service.
Response from the owner:Thank you for such thoughtful feedback, Lori! It's so great to hear that Michael, TJ and Cameron provided outstanding service throughout your installation, even with the challenges of cold weather. We truly appreciate your kind words about our team!

Thanks for the guidance of our new system. I am enjoying the features of our updated alarm system. I thought I understood the quiick arm feature but I guess I prefer the words quick arm on the alarm like the older model. However, it is fairly rasy to use. John was very helpful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the positive feedback, Roman! We're happy to hear your installation went smoothly and that Justin took great care of you. We appreciate you choosing Guardian!

I had three doors replaced in my house and garage. I haven’t painted the trim yet but the alarm sensors had to be reinstalled. The service technician Mike did a great job. He was prompt, courteous and professional.
I couldn’t ask for better service.
Hopefully Mike gets some recognition for his fine work.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Dave! We're glad to hear Mike was prompt, coureous, and professional while reinstalling your alarm sensors. We trult appreciate your kind words and will be sure to pass them along!
